Crj. Woodhouse et Aj. Pope, ALTERNATIVES TO URINARY-DIVERSION WITH A BAG - RESULTS IN 100 PATIENTS, British Journal of Urology, 72(5), 1993, pp. 580-585
One hundred patients underwent surgery to free them from a cutaneous u
rinary diversion (n = 59) or to avoid having one (n = 4 1). The recons
truction was tailored to the needs of the patient: 7 had a simple undi
version, 35 a complex undiversion and 58 a continent suprapubic divers
ion. The outcome was satisfactory in 97%. Two patients were rediverted
to an ileal conduit. The simpler the reconstruction the lower the re-
operation rate: simple undiversion 0%, complex undiversion 20%, Mitrof
anoff 42%, Kock pouch 69%. In spite of the high complication rate, the
re is a strong demand for such reconstructions and a high satisfaction
rate amongst patients.
